so happy very smart move by Andy. I feel that this is the right decision. Lendl will improve his mental side of tennis and things will be on the up for Andy just trying to be positive but I know that Andy is the one playing the tennis and not Lendl.... we will see what happens Can't wait for the partnership to start... so exciting

A big problem for Murray was well is up until now he has been able to go under the radar, as he isnt really a big favourite for the majors with the likes or Roger, Djokovic and Nadal considerably in fromt of him.

Going under the radar and beating the guys he should beat has worked for Murray, but teaming up with an all time great is going to put him firmly in the media spotlight before the main events have even started, there is a massive amount of pressure on him that is for sure.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree.. Andy goes into most tournaments not under the radar.. everyone expects him to do well in GS and M... you have to be positive about this news... this is the kind of news that were hoping for

I think it depends which tournaments you are talking about, I have spend a loit of time in America and while Murray is respected if you were at the US Open last year and followed the coverage you would know that all the talk was of Roger, Djokovic and Nadal 3 guys who are ahead of Murray and have won 30 Grand Slams between them.

Now that Murray is teamed up with a guy with 8 majors who also lost a bunch of major finals to start with the media and tennis pundits are going to be focused on this story quite closely time will tell how Murray handles it, but it can all turn sour very fast indeed.

95% sure this is a fantastic move - just bit unsure why it didn't happen 6 months ago. Lendl has a lot of parallels with Andy including both their Mum's were top players nationally. Lendl won his 1st Slam at 24 (after 4 losing finals rather than Andy's 3) and his last at 29 (I think)so let's hope the parallels continue! So come on Andy - only Novak maybe is in your way for the AO although I'll settle for losing AO final if it means winning RG - any slam will do.

And Rafa and most of all Roger!

Roger has won here you know 4 times, dominated this event, the courts are suited to Novak's game he will start the favourite for the tournament but apart from him when Roger plays anyone else the match is on his racket.

'Lendl will attend the four Grand Slams and most of the Masters series events. This is likely to mean a commitment of around 20 weeks a year. '

I'll still take it.

It's the slams when he needs him most. And presumably he'll still be able to call on Cahill at other times, assuming he's available.Yes would be interesting to know why they didn't seal the deal when they talked previously. May well be good reasons for that. Perhaps Andy wanted a spell doing it for himself first; perhaps Lendl wasn't ready to travel. Who knows. It's quite possible they reached a tentative agreement then and kept it quiet. Anyway perfect timing to announce it now at start of new season. And I wish them both well for it.

Hopefully this is the final piece of the jigsaw in place to help Andy achieve his GS goal. Lendl for sure will help with the mental aspect aswell as physical. I can see this could also turn Andy into a legitimate threat at RG too so Nadal watch out!!!

HALLELUJAH!! After all the waiting and speculation ... We'll never know why it took Andy so long to make this move, but at least he's finally done it. Very pleased. I truly hope that this relationship works out for him and that Lendl can help him make that final leap.
